About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

Cons

Not as efficient as other bulbs

The Philips EcoVantage Halogen Bulb was a strong performer in GHRI tests

The Philips EcoVantage Halogen Bulb was a strong performer in GHRI tests, and our consumer testers loved it too. We particularly appreciated the EcoVantage's evenly distributed light and ample brightness, which we found to be at least as good as incandescent bulb. It was also one of the most affordable bulbs. The downside? This halogen  as with most  is only marginally more efficient than a standard incandescent bulb.
